--At Dover, Tuesday, upon the re-as-
sembling of court Attorney Bergman
filed a motion for a new trial in the case
Of Henry Adams convicted Saturday BY
jury of murder in the first degree. The
motion was overruled. But the Judge
stated that in his opinion the finding Of
the jury was too severe and uuwar-
ranted by the evidence adtllced by the
state, and in the exercise of his prer0g
alive would set aside the verdict aud
reduce the punishment to 81 years in
the penltentiary. The negro woman's
sentence was also reduced from II TO lC
years. So far as we are informed at
, present, we believe that the action of
the court more fully conforms to public
sentiment and the law than the extreme
punishment sought to be inflicted by
the iuries sitting ia the case. 1t is
true this Is bad case viewed from any
standpoint, but evidence was lacking
TO Justify a severer punishment thar
that inflicted by the Court.
